Grandma's Looking Down on Me

So Saturday night tip wise I had the best night at work I had ever had. I was doing pretty good, but then my last table of the night was a group of softball tournament girls and their parents. One guy was joking around with me and the were all really nice. Then this gentleman paid the bill at the end and left me $160 tip! I was blown away!!! I could not believe it!! I wondered why? Why me? Why would something this great happen to me? What did I really do to deserve this? Then I realized it was June 28th, which is Grandma's birthday. The first birthday without her. I really feel like she was up there making sure I was taken care of that night. It was my last night of work before going out of town for a week on a trip. A trip I was so excited about, but unsure financially about missing a week of work? Then this happened and I felt like, WOW!!! I could go on my trip and really enjoy myself! I usually don't read into things like that to much, but I don't know? As soon as I realized it I just felt so happy inside, so different! I think she is looking down on Raymon and I and making sure we were taken care of well!!! I love you Grandma and I miss you!!!!

Break Time

I am so glad that Raymon and I are each about to have a week off, even if we are going to be apart. Raymon is going to NC to shoot with the other people of the RWVA. He is excited to spend an ENTIRE week shooting and becoming a better rifleman. I will be heading further north to good ole PA. I am visiting Lara(my NGCSU roommate). I have not been to PA in almost 4 years and I excited to be going. I am going to See Lara and Marc's house, see Hannah(19 months) and meet baby Elizabeth( 1 month). It is soooo nice just to get away from the real world for awhile. We have been so busy the past couple of months, Ray working tons, and me doing the Monroe opening, and then the passing of Grandma. We drove to Tampa and then 4 days later to Missouri. We drove like 2500 miles in a week and a half. The emotional drain also took its tole. Then we came back and jumped straight back to work and have been going hardcore ever since. So I think it's time we deserve a week away from reality! I am glad we can do our own things that we have fun doing too!!! Wish us well with Raymon driving and me flying!!! Hopefully good tales when we return!!! MUAH!!!!

New Things

So many people may already know, but my best-friend is dating my little brother. It sounds so crazy! When you first think about it it is bizarre, but the more you think about it, it seems natural. Here are two people you, YOU have thrown together in different situations for YEARS. Then you realize how it really is natural! Then for once in your life you go on a double date where you are glad to see both people and hang out with them! This is one of those things that can be so great!!! Life is always throwing suprises at you and you just have to remember that God has a sense of humor too!

Being sick stinks

Sooooo this morning I woke up and I was still not feeling well. All that general cold stuff: cough, sneezing, running nose, nice green sputum, and a little short of breath. So I have an upper respiratory infection and went to the doctor and got myself a good ole antibiotic. So hopefully in the next few days I will start to feel better. At this time I cannot afford to miss to much work since Raymon and I are both going out of town the first week in July. I hope that everyone else has a good week.

I pray for alot of people. My family, and friends, but this week I am especially praying for some co-workers such as Cliff and his dad. As his dad didn't have enough to deal with his kidney's failing now he has a brain tumor and they are starting radiation this week. I pray the tumor can be healed and he can enjoy his children for a good while longer. I still pray for Judi too. After the sudden death of her husband I hope she can still see how much she has to live for! I pray so many other things too!!! Thank you Lord for all my gifts you have given me. I hope everyone else can pray that too!!!

First Blog

So this is a my first blog. Where do I begin? I am married to my best friend and the love of my life. I work at Longhorn as a server and hope to soon go into management. I love life. Most people think I am a little crazy, dorky, cooky, and fun. I am on the outside totally optimistic, but not always that way on the inside. I really don't think life was meant for us to go through just getting by. I think God wants us to enjoy every step of the way. Life is what you make it and if you are unhappy all the time that is what your life will be. I try to do things that I enjoy. Hanging out with my hubby, going out with friends, seeing my family and going to cool restaurants in Atlanta. This is not where I thought I would be at 26, but I am happy!!! That is what really counts and thats my motto: Do what makes you happy, as long as it's not illegal or hurting anyone else.
